Property Inspection Reports
Our property inspection services provide landlords, letting agents, and property managers with accurate, independent records of a property’s condition at key stages of a tenancy. Regular and thorough inspections safeguard property assets, ensure tenancy compliance, and reduce end-of-tenancy deposit disputes.
Inspection Types Offered
Check-In Inspections
Executed at the start of a tenancy to walk through the property alongside the incoming tenant. We log the exact opening condition, record utility meter readings, record smoke and carbon monoxide alarm status, and confirm the handover of keys
Check-Out Inspections
Conducted when a tenant vacates the property. We compare the current state of the property directly against the original inventory report, identifying any new damages, cleaning issues, or missing items while clearly distinguishing between fair wear and tear and tenant negligence.
Interim & Mid-Term Inspections
Periodic checks carried out during an active tenancy. These visits allow landlords and agents to identify maintenance needs early, spot unreported leaks or repairs, and confirm the tenant is maintaining the property in accordance with their lease agreement.

If a clerk cannot safely or effectively complete the report due to ongoing works or obstruction, the appointment may be cancelled and a cancellation fee applied. - Inspection Scope & Limitations
Reports are purely visual assessments. Descriptions of items (such as pine, oak, chrome, or silver) refer strictly to visual appearance and colour, not material authenticity. Clerks do not provide valuations, structural assessments, or repair cost estimates. Locked spaces, lofts, and outbuildings without safe access will not be inspected. - Appliance & Utility Testing
Testing of electrical appliances, heating installations, boilers, and gas fittings is restricted strictly to visual checks or power indicator verification where safe and reachable. Full operational safety or efficiency testing is not conducted. - Cancellations & Waiting Time
Cancellations made on the same day as the scheduled inspection incur a 50% fee of the total booking cost.
A waiting charge of £20 applies if a clerk is delayed by more than 15 minutes waiting for access or keys. - Surcharges

Any applicable Low Emission Zone fees will be itemised and added to the invoice.
